Late to the party with this thread, what a read 
Loved the photos of the person taking the piss with their new Discovery a few pages back.
The paintballing thing is spot on, I used to do it occasionally a few years ago as a bit of fun with a few mates and there were some real mentalists who turned up. A bunch of middle aged blokes who brought their own "camo" with them, what looked like seriously expensive guns, and facepaint. As noted by someone else, they turn up in that so they must put it all on at home. They would huddle for talks about "tactics" before the rounds, and talk about "position alpha, beta, and charlie" etc.
Best part was, we (the group of school kids at the time) would often beat them not taking it seriously at all which they didn't take very well!
I always thought paintballing was the saddest thing in the whole world. Grown men playing with pretend guns in woods. I couldn't actually believe it existed as a thing.Loved the photos of the person taking the piss with their new Discovery a few pages back.

And then I got roped into doing it once and I went with such reluctance and determination to be disruptive and contemptuous of everyone. But once it started something came over me and it was utterly brilliant. It started with a realisation that these things actually f
king hurt which gave you the initial adrenaline of trying to avoid this, and then the realisation that you could actually get revenge and hurt others suddenly transformed this babies game into something hilarious.Anyway, on our team was an early twenties army wannabe who arrived with a head band, face and body camo plus his own gun. He believed himself to be Rambo. Every time the whistle went he would start shouting and raising his hands in the air (like that dying bloke in platoon). So naturally me and a friend had our own game of stalking this bloke who was on our own team and shooting him at every opportunity. We targeted ourselves to have him our of the game within 2 minutes but without realising it was his own team that turned on him.
One of the most enjoyable days out I have had.

I think if you're 'that guy' you should only do it amongst like-minded people. It's the same as people that moan about 'dangerous driving' on a stag do karting session. Honestly, nobody is there to set lap times so you might as well fk your mate into the wall and see if you can damage his spine while you're at it as he'll be doing it to you.blindswelledrat said:

My brother's stag do paintballing was absolutely brutal, all sides turning on him, we actually had him bleeding he took so many hits 
We then had a heavy night drinking and then go karting the next day, which led to me being rammed off the course more than once...

Spot the man with his own paintballing gear
I've only ever been to paintball once. I agree with the guy you're mocking - going out of your way to ruin someone's fun is asshattery.In America, the Walts have real guns, which is scary.

This is what the mayor had to say in a longer piece about his sadness about no longer being stop guns being openly displayed
"Item 2: For our annual Fourth of July parade downtown, the sidewalks and streets were packed with thousands of children, parents, students, retirees — all in their patriotic finest. A float rolled by featuring armed men from a private firearms training center with military-style machine guns held at the ready, ammunition belts attached, atop a pickup truck. The celebration took a nervous-making turn."

Obviously why?Because me and my mates actually enjoy the competition? Because some them are quite good at it, used to do it 'professionally', and are now paid by car manufacturers to drive/race their cars?
If it makes you happy, we all got blitzed afterwards.

They know how to piss about as well though. Have you ever seen the BSB guys racing mini motos? It's possible to do things seriously and also not seriously depending on context/company.

What's wrong with riding round in trucks with big machine guns at a family event?
You hate Amercica!

Sorry to butt in here, but this concept of "stag do" karting is a bit alien to me frankly. Any karting I've done, from office do, to charity event, through turn up as randoms, or anything where someone turns up with their own helmet and overalls, then any deliberate contact or punting off results in black flag and even a red flag, offenders warned, second offence out the door.So do venues really have different standards for different clients and how does this sit with safety concerns? Or is it some venues are a bit slack?

I have pretty much all of those things yes. although they're not kart specific, they're for my car. So do a good few of my mates. So if going to compete and see who's best on the day as opposed to smashing up karts puts us all on 'the spectrum', fair enough. Given the thread were posting on, I'm sure you'll agree that karting is far from the weirdest hobby around.Your second paragraph, entirely my point, yes.
